Land Rover fans looking for something a bit more exclusive than the mainstream line-up can rejoice because a new Australian-inspired special-edition Land Rover Defender 90 is now available – and limited to just 15 cars.
Priced from $129,976 plus on-road costs and due Down Under in May, the 2024 Land Rover Defender Pacific Blue Edition is said to celebrate Australia’s Pacific coastline and our surf culture, as evidenced by the stunning Pacific Blue matte body colour, white roof and sliding glass panoramic roof.
The roof is paired with a set of white 18-inch steel wheels (wrapped in all-terrain tyres), white grille highlights and white door handles.
The theme continues in the cabin with a white steering wheel and door trim inserts, along with a white powder-coated brushed-finish cross-beam dashboard.
Other special appointments include 12-way grained Ebony leather seats (heated), a Meridian sound system, a unique Defender-branded surfboard, black side-mounted gear carrier, fixed side steps, an Aqua Sports Carrier, portable rinse system, tow hitch receiver and locking wheel nuts.
Lurking under the bonnet is the 183kW/550Nm ‘D250’ 2.0-litre twin-turbocharged Ingenium six-cylinder diesel engine, while electronic air suspension is also included.
